EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Egyptian obelisk known as Cleopatra's Needle, beautifully engraved by an English School artist in the 19th century. The image is part of a private collection and was featured in The People's History of Great Britain, published by Liverpool Courier in 1895. Thanks to digital restoration, this engraving has been brought back to life with stunning clarity. The obelisk itself stands proudly on an embankment, symbolizing the historical connection between Egypt and Great Britain. Its presence evokes a sense of wonder and fascination for both British and Egyptian cultures. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the rich history shared between these two nations. Cleopatra's Needle holds great significance not only for its artistic beauty but also for its historical importance. Originally erected in ancient Egypt during the reign of Pharaoh Thutmose III around 1450 BC, it was later transported to London in 1878 as a gift from Muhammad Ali Pasha to Queen Victoria. This print serves as a reminder that art has the power to transcend time and borders, connecting us with our past while igniting curiosity about different cultures across Europe. It reminds us that even though Germany may be geographically distant from Egypt or Britain, their influence can still be felt through shared European heritage. In summary, this enchanting image captures the essence of Cleopatra's Needle – an enduring symbol of unity between nations and a testament to mankind's ability to appreciate
